I have really been enjoying my lazy few weeks here. Been coming into work a few days and getting some things done, sometimes playing around and chatting with coworkers.
I have enjoyed getting to stay home with O a few days and get to take him shopping when we feel like it and getting more cleaning done.
I have enjoyed getting addicted to playing Bejeweled in the past week.
But now the reality of starting to teach again on Monday has set in. Five crazy weeks are approaching me. While teaching for 4 hours a day and having 2 hours of office hours and having to do all the planning attached to it, I also get to put a poster presentation together and get up-to-date on statistical education research. Both of these things I have to have accomplished in the next 4 weeks!
When the summer session of teaching is over, I will wonder where it all went. But I am looking forward to it since it will mean it is that much closer to me going back to Nebraska for a visit!

My mother's day weekend + Monday
So, this weekend we thought we would be smart and go out to eat on Saturday night for Mother's day instead of fighting the crowds on Sunday, especially with O. We decided to leave the house around 5 and go to Cheddars, about 15 minutes away. As we pull in, expecting to be one of just a few families that are there, we see there is a line waiting to be told how long they will have to wait! Jeesh...did everyone have this plan of ours - no actually. We just didn't factor in that it was graduation at NKU and a high school's prom that night!
Once we finally get seated, O wants to sit in the booth with Mommy - okay, we will give it a try. He did pretty well. We ordered an appetizer, two sodas (O got his first taste finally), O a cheeseburger and fries kiddy meal, B got a steak and shrimp dinner, and I got a Club sandwich with a baked potato as I was saving room for my dessert - a freshly baked-in-a-skillet cookie (had to preorder) topped with icecream and homemade fudge sauce with whipped cream and a cherry. B was kind enought to take O to the car so that, for once, I could eat in peace! When all was said and done, our final bill...... $39.15. Wow! I'm coming back
B and O got Mommy some very pretty flowers and permission to choose myself another gift as I always want strange things. Would like to get myself a few personal training sessions at NKU, but they aren't "taking any new clients". Just my luck.
I got to sleep in on Sunday which was sooo nice. B picked up Penn Station for lunch for me and then we had burgers and cheesy potatoes for supper. Pretty nice day.

Monday was an interesting morning. I put O is some new clothes that I had bought and he asked me to carry him down the stairs, which I do many times. As we were getting ready to leave he told me his pants hurt. Thought maybe the unwashed fabric was getting to him so I put on a pair of jeans instead. He is still crying and saying his pants hurt. I figured it would wear off, so out we went - Mommy having to carry him. When we get to daycare and I put him down he takes one step and sort of collapses. We don't see a swollen ankle or anything. But 10 minutes later he takes about 4 steps and does the same thing. At this point he doesn't even want to put any weight on that leg. So, off to the doctor.
When we pull up to the doctor's office I ask him if he wants to be carried or walk - carried. When I put him down in the office in a chair and then check in, I turn around to find him up and playing..."limping" a little. By the time we see the doctor, we are pretty good though she gave me a referral to get x-rays if I thought it was necessary. But then she also saw what we saw...O's eye going off in one direction. She gave me a referral to an opthamologist (sure I butchered that) - an MD eye doctor to have him checked out for a suspect lazy eye. Ok, now I am nervous. Couldn't get in until July 2nd! So we'll see how that goes.
